Thornton Hill

England, england

At just 1.5km, Thornton Hill is short but deceptively intense — 60m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 4% disguises ramps of 9.8% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in England, England.

  • A false flat around km 1 offers brief respite before the road kicks up again.
